Lyrics The Day John Sattler Broke His Jaw - The Whitlams feat. Black Stump
Sunrise
on
the
station
breaks
the
morning's
spell
Red
and
green
streamers
flyin'
outside
the
Railway
View
Hotel
Cleveland
St
shuffles
shinin'
into
the
mighty
roar
We
were
walkin'
through
the
twilight
the
day
John
Sattler
broke
his
jaw
Livin'
eight
to
a
house,
post
Menzies'
Land
of
Plenty
But
there
was
nothin'
left
for
people
like
us
in
September
1970
Some
worked
the
Eveleigh
railway
yards,
some
worked
the
tanneries
on
the
Botany
shore
We
didn't
work
the
Saturday
that
John
Sattler
broke
his
jaw
If
it's
high
enough,
if
it's
long
enough,
if
it's
straight
between
the
posts
Drink
your
beer
and
shed
no
tears
for
these
days
you
miss
the
most
Every
step
and
sill
sat
shinin'
in
Black-It
from
door
to
door
And
the
tears
rolled
down
like
Reschs
the
day
John
Sattler
broke
his
jaw
Saturday
morning
on
the
Botany
Road
was
mean
and
it
was
lean
Rabbit
killers
in
old
Ford
Falcons
stallin'
through
a
richer
man's
dream
By
afternoon
we
were
jammed
tight
inside
the
hotel
doors
Even
the
T.A.B.
was
empty
the
day
John
Sattler
broke
his
jaw
Now
in
the
Ladies
Lounge
a
young
girl
rocks
a
pram
An
old
guy
downs
a
Flag
Ale
with
the
ghost
of
Dave
Sands
Clothes
lines
are
flyin'
high,
the
sun
is
sinkin'
behind
the
flats
As
stoned
girls
walk
in
circles
with
their
babies
on
their
backs
As
big
trucks
roll
down
wide
streets
with
heroin
filled
storm
drains
Suburban
towns
they
turn
blue
and
brown,
use
old
wars
for
their
street
names
They
took
you
down
to
Campbelltown
to
Mount
Druitt
and
St
Marys
Young
Labor
sits
stoned
in
a
terrace
house,
the
Sydney
Swans
on
Pay
tv
